I can’t log a “find” here because I set up the cache, but I wanted to show willing! So here I am, standing in the beginnings of what looks to be a serious rainstorm, capturing a screenshot with my phone. Gulp; should’a brought my coat!

Quick stop on a diversion from my cycle ride from the city centre to Sandford. Funny: years of caching and I hadn’t seen a container like this until I see two of them in one week. TFTC.

Found with fleeblewidget on a lunch date after a bit of a hunt. Maybe the GPS gods weren’t smiling on me, but the given coordinates looked to me to be on entirely the wrong side of the path: by my reckoning, the container is at N 51° 42.699′, W 001° 13.347′. SL, TFTC.

Another quick find, this time on my way back. Log very tight in container: difficult to remove! TFTC!

Solving the mystery to determine the cache location was the easy (and fun) bit: geocheck confirmed first time! But after half an hour of digging through damp vegetation (and the ocassional nettle) this morning, I had to admit defeat. :-(

Strongly suspect this cache is missing. CO: message me if you want me to confirm where I looked and what I found that makes me think it’s definitely a goner (if that’s easier than visiting the GZ). Sorry!

Really not been my day, but I’m perhaps not the only one – lot of DNFs here lately. Ah, well, back home for me.

I having the unluckiest streak today! Got the coordinates no problem but when I reached the GZ despite a thorough search (and no stone left unturned) I couldn’t get lucky. Perhaps I’ll come back and bring the geokid: it’s the kind of hunt she excels at.

The coordinates seemed “out” from what I was expecting, and I think my hunch was right, especially after reading the old logs (I think I’ve seen a cache like this before). I’m pretty sure this cache is gone: I even found what I believe to be a piece of it; photo attached. :-(

Feels like I kicking off an unlucky streak today with my second DNF in a row. Had to give up after a moderately thorough search in all the obvious places (and a few less-obvious ones). Maybe another time.

Coming here during the daytime may have been mistake: I wasn’t able to search effectively while people from the industrial estate kept coming down here for their cigarette breaks, and a forklift driver was watching me suspiciously. Gave up after about 10 unproductive minutes.

While running an errand in Eynsham I thought I’d take the opportunity to explore some of the local geocaches. This one was the first, and I was glad of the hint (and also glad that I was dressed appropriately for stomping down nettles – quite the crop of them this spring!) or else I’d have been stuffed! TFTC.

Found without difficulty after a short search. Nice to see something a bit different than the usual placement. Container possibly missing a part: may need attention before the next severe weather but probably okay for now. TFTC.

Quick and easy find; nice container.

Given that I live very close to this cache (and have done since well before it was placed) I hope you’d forgive me for taking my time to getting around to solving and logging it. Because I was solving GC5R4B3 (Boggling Boolean) today anyway, I thought I’d take a proper look at this for the first time. A quick Google search confirmed my suspicions about what I was looking at and gave me the necessary resources to learn how to read it, and then I was on my way by bike to the general area. I went via GC5R4B3 where I unfortunately left my pen, meaning that I didn’t have it with me when I got to this cache!
Therefore, by way of proof-of-finding, I’ve attached a (non-spoilery) photo of the log from the cache, sitting atop my GPSr whose screen is showing my name and the current date. If CO really wants me to go back up and sign it for-real than I will, but I’ll tell you what: I’m wearing long trousers (or taking a lawnmower) next time!
Lovely cache container in a place I didn’t even know existed; thanks!
Oh, and also: by some counts (this site’s, i.e. ignoring caches logged on other sites) this is my 400th cache. So that’s nice.
